We’re Back!
We are back! Did you miss us? We didn’t go anywhere. We were just busy revamping our website and getting ready for another amazing year of inspiring projects. And here we are! This school year will be that more special because it includes the following additions. For the 2018/19 school year we are thrilled to […]
SAMANTHA GIVES BACK
Our students never cease to amaze us with their passion, drive and determination. Samantha Adler is no exception. Samantha is a former PGB student from Humewood Public School. She chose Camp Oochigeas as her Project Give Back subject. Yet her project did not end with the school year. Samantha was so touched by what the […]
ANDREA HECHT IS IN THE HOUSE!
It is hard to believe that PGB has been running now for the past 11 years! While we have grown since our humble beginnings, our growth has always been steady and carefully planned, while never compromising on quality. (Perhaps that should become our new slogan or tag line!) No matter the number of teachers, nor […]
NEW YEAR, NEW LESSONS TO LOVE

KIDS SAY THE DARNEDEST THINGS!
Kids these days………..They rock! Really, they do. Project Give Back is so inspirational and empowering because of our incredible client base; these kids.

And those who started with us, have now grown up and graduated from High school. Most are off perusing further academic achievements, some […]

INSPIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW
What inspires you? Is it someone? Is it somewhere? Or is it something? As a teacher, I hope I inspire. As a Project Give Back teacher, I am constantly inspired by my students daily. Having now taught the program for many years, there are countless stories I could share, that will inspire you like never […]
WHO CAN IT BE NOW?
You never know who might just show up to a Project Give Back class! Cameo appearances are always appreciated; whether it’s watching an episode of SNL or spotting that random someone in a scene of a movie. But it is even more awesome to witness these appearances within our very own classrooms! It happens quite […]
MUM’S THE WORD
Shhhhhhhhhh……..the secret is out! Project Give Back manages to make an impact not only on our students, but their families as well. Over the years, many mothers have kindly shared their experiences with watching how the project has had a profound effect upon their child’s behaviour, attitude and learning. For some, it has been an […]
